A painting of a famous artist could cost several million dollars in the market. This is why many artworks－even those that are housed inside highly guarded museums－go missing. Here is a list of some of the most famous paintings that were lost, stolen or destroyed.

Vincent Van Gogh' s Poppy Flowers

This artwork was housed at the Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo. It was first lost in 1977, but was recovered 10 years after. The second time this same Vincent Van Gogh painting was stolen was in August of 2010. The painting is estimated (估价) to be worth something between $50 and $55 million.

Pablo Picasso' s Le Pigeon Aux Petits

Stolen on May 20, 2010, this painting by Spanish painter Pablo Picasso is worth $28 million. It was stolen at the Musee d' Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, along with five other artworks. However, the thieves threw the painting away in a trashcan when they were caught. But that container was emptied before the authorities got there. It was feared that the painting was already destroyed.

Paul Cezanne' s View of Auvers Sur Oise

Lost on December 31, 1990, this artwork that used to be on exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford was stolen the night before the city's Millennium celebration. The thieves planned the robbery in time with the fireworks exhibition during peak of the celebrations. This artwork is estimated to be worth $5 million.

Covert Flinck' s Landscape with an Obelisk

Stolen on March 18, 1990, this artwork was at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum in Boston. This painting by Covert Flinck was previously believed to be a Rembrandt creation. A huge cash reward of $5 million will be given to the person who can provide information leading to the recovery of the painting.

21. In which of the following cities was Le Pigeon Aux Petits stolen?

A. Cairo. B. Paris. C. Oxford. D. Boston.

22. Who was mistakenly thought to create Landscape with an Obelisk?

A. Pablo Picasso. B. Paul Cezanne. C. Covert Flinck. D. Rembrandt.

23. What can we infer about the four artworks mentioned in the text?

A. Some of them are given an approximate price.

B. They all are stolen when on exhibition.

C. Some of them are lost 30 years.

D. Some of them have been found so far.

B

In the US TV series Friends, Rachel Green is a classic example of a pushover. More often than not, she gives in to her childhood friend Monica Geller’s demands on trivial （琐碎的）things such as what to eat for a lunch, even if she has her own preference.

Like Rachel, some people find themselves being constantly influenced by others. There are all kinds of reasons why they would act as easy-going and flexible as Rachel does. Maybe the topic of discussion just isn’t something that interests them. Take household issues for example. Most men don’t get overly excited at the idea of buying new kitchenware. So it’s not uncommon to hear a husband tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” or “I don’t care”. Technically, he’s being a pushover. But he’s also being flexible, avoiding any future conflict.

Have you ever been traveling with friends and disagreed with them about which scenic spots you should visit? Maybe you had your own opinions on where to go, but you just said, “Oh, I’m fine if we don’t go there. It’s your call.” Being easy-going is certainly a virtue that helps sustain good relationships and makes you a person that others want to be around. It can make you look like a pushover to others, but if you’re OK with that, then it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with it.

But if you hate being thought of as a pushover, then maybe it’s time you should learn to say “no”. No is a simple yet powerful word. You don’t have to do or participate in anything that you don’t want to. It won’t upset the people around you half as much as you fear it will, and if it does then they will get over it in time. Taking a firm stand clearly defines your likes and dislikes, which can also be an endearing （讨人喜 欢的）character trait.

24.What is a pushover likely to do when going to the cinema with a friend?

A. Hesitate about which film to see.

B. Choose to see the film her friend likes.

C. Quarrel with her friend about what to see.

D. Persuade her friend to see her favorite film.

25. When it comes to buying kitchenware, a husband tends to tell his wife “you can buy whatever you like” because ________

A. He wants to show his language techniques. B. He would like to please his wife.

C. He just wants to avoid conflict in future. D. He is a caring husband

26.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Doing anything friends ask you to do. B. Hating being considered as a pushover.

C. Saying “no” to something you don’t want. D. Being easy-going to the people around you.

27.What’s the author’s attitude towards being a pushover?

A. Neutral. B. Disapproving C. Favorable. D. Reserved.

C

My son Mason recently turned three and to celebrate it, we had a cookout with friends. Fortunately, many friends have kids his age. When kids congregate (聚集) there is a sense that chaos is right around the corner. Once the screaming begins, little bodies scatter to their moms and dads and fingers point at the perceived wrongdoer. This happens because they don’t know how to work together. They can learn, however.

Interestingly similar enough, when the new school year begins, teachers putting the students in groups and expecting them to work together on a common task, things will break down. The teacher, wrongly assuming students are unwilling to work together rather than unable, will say things like “Work together,” or even “You are in ___ grade now. You should be able to cooperate.” The teacher may even go as far as putting students back into rows because they do not seem ready to work in teams. Often, though, students want to work together, they just don’t know how. Fortunately, just like Mason and his friends, all students can learn to be effective members of a team.

In any academic discipline, the ability to function as a team requires a host of skills. Because teamwork skills translate across content areas and provide the foundation for learning in today’s classrooms, they demand significant attention in our classrooms. So, how can teachers support students in acquiring these skills?

Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities that are independent of academic content. Depending on students’ ages, teachers may introduce one or more of the following teamwork skills during activities: developing and sharing ideas, listening, positive behavior, individual participation, and coming to agreement. Specifically, teachers should work with students to establish a common understanding of the desired skills and model examples and nonexamples before allowing them to practice on their own. Fortunately, there is no shortage of activities that will get students eager to think and work together. In addition to more well-known team-building activities, such as the “human knot,” there has recently been an influx (流入) of stand-alone team activities known as STEM activities.

28. The underlined sentence in Para1 is written to ___________.

A. picture a scene of kids playing together noisily

B. indicate the kids’ lack of ability to look after themselves

C. express the writer’s affection to the lovely kids

D. describe the kids’ reaction when they are in conflict

29. The teachers try to persuade the students to cooperate on the assumption that ___________.

A. the students should be effective team members naturally

B. the students are lacking in cooperative ability

C. the students don’t intend to cooperate well

D. the students need to be trained for cooperative tasks

30.We can learn from the passage that_____

A. The students are unwilling to work together.

B. Teamwork indeed requires a wealth of skills.

C. Teachers can best teach teamwork skills early by having students practice them with activities related to academic content.

D. There are limited activities that get students trained in teamwork skills.

31. What is the best way to teach the students teamwork skills in classrooms?

A. Guide the students to have an understanding of teamwork skills.

B. Let them enjoy stand-alone activities like STEM.

C. Inspire the students to think positively.

D. Practice their teamwork skills during activities

D

Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area－think of a star ten times bigger than the sun squeezed into a ball approximately the diameter (直径) of New York City. The result produces such a strong gravitational field that nothing, not even light, can escape. In recent years, NASA instruments have painted a new picture of these strange objects that are, to many, the most fascinating objects in space.

The idea of an object in space so massive and dense (密度大的) that light could not escape it has been around for centuries. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, the center of the star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it explodes part of the star into space and leaves behind a small core with its great density. If the core' s mass is more than about three times the mass of the sun, then the force of gravity is greater than all other forces and produces a black hole.

Scientists can't directly observe black holes with telescopes that detect (探测) x-rays, light, or other forms of radiation. We can, however, infer the presence of black holes and study them by detecting their influence on other matter nearby. If a black hole passes through a cloud of matter, for example, it will draw matter inside in a process known as addition. A similar process can occur if a normal star passes close to a black hole. In this case, the black hole can tear the star apart as it pulls it towards itself. As the attracted matter accelerates and heats up, it gives off x-rays that radiate into space. Recent discoveries offer some evidence that black holes have a dramatic influence on the neighborhoods around them - giving off powerful gamma ray bursts, swallowing nearby stars, and accelerating the growth of new stars in some areas while postponing it in others.

32. Why does a black hole have such a powerful gravity?

A. Its area is small. B. It is empty space.

C. Its density is great. D. It contains much light.

33. How many stages are there from a massive star to a black hole?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

34. How do scientists research black holes?

A. By studying matter nearby them. B. By observing them with telescopes.

C. By collecting some light from them. D. By receiving powerful gamma ray bursts.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The Birth of a Black Hole B. The First Picture of a Black Hole

C. Some Unknown Secrets of Black Holes D. A New Scientific Discovery：Black Holes

Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend

●Show respect for their life choices and decisions

Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you．They will make different life choices，have different views on politics and religion，and act differently in many ways．This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend． 36

●Give them the benefit of the doubt

37 If you’re in doubt about something，ask your friend．Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感)．

●Give friends your full attention

One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully．Allow them to pause，convey nonverbal communication clues，collect their thoughts，and get it all out．Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story． 38 When your friend is talking，pay attention．

● 39

Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them．Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people．Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them．

●Show up，be there，and do what you say you’re going to do
